UNtog tfALL.—On Monday last a Benefit Soci ety, c;.lled " The Assoeiated :Brethren,!' to the amount of near . 500, dined t,ogether at the. Cumber land Gardens, and the Proptictor, to prevent irn plover con: any intruding into toe Gardens, pro cured two of the Police officers to attend. Soon after dinner, however, some discarded metnbers of the Society attempted to , torc, tier way into the Gardens, but were successfully opposed by some of the members assembled. •The excluded persons, however, renewed their attvmpts.to gait admission, and the officers perceiving th e bustle, hastened to the spot, and seeing one man strike anotit-r, they immediately .took the person, whom they ,conceived , to'be (he aggressor into custody, but upon their at tempting to cower hint away, the whole posse fell upon the two. officers, and beat them in so violent and cruel a ma. tier, that, but for the interference of the landlord, and a Gentiernm named Mansfield, they would robably nut have bren ~now living to prefer this complaint. A messenger w a s imm e di. ateiy.dispitched to Union Hail fur assistAnce, when several of ceis returned, properly armed, to rescua and protect their brother ntlico - s, whom, on their arrival, they. tonnd concealed in the landlord's bed room, and conveyed them away, without any at tempt being made by the Associated Brethren tO molest the,„.

The reply was reserved .for Tues day next. COURT OF COMMON PLEAS. fury 5. YOUNGER V. REVETT. This was an adorn of trespass, to recover dama ges from tl.e defendant for an injury sustained by the plaintiff, in consequence of his hating been ousted of his !cult before the expiration of the demise. Mr Serjeant BEST, for the Plaintiff, stated, that the Defendant in this case was• the son of the lessor, who had made a lease of the tenement in question to the plaintiff, for the term of ten years, on the p'o vision expressed in a' clause of the covenant, that. if, upon the expiration of the demise, the lesv•or, te fused to enlarge the term, he shouLl -pay to the plaintiff one halt of the money expended by him in the erection of buildings, or 01: er itn,:roemt'nts, doting the continuance of the said term, or in lieu thereof the sum of 2001. That, after six years of the tetra had expirej, the plaint 4 let the-remaind r of his term—less than.that remainder by z-en ..to one Wally, of whom t tie defetk'ant *held it. He would bring evidence to pro , e, that since the ration of the D.iendant's train, and b:tofe the ex piration of the plaintiff, during the ten days plain tiff had made an entry, and had, after entry made, been oi,sted .by the defendant. • ohj , „ltt of the . defendant would appear to be as it had said, " I'll keep paisession for the ten days,after my term hms expired, because by that ihne ynur's will hate expired also, and then you can claim damages only for toe ten .days;" but the defendant would find himself ousiaken, as his client would be entitled to be recompensed, not merely for !he injury, but for the immediate consequence of k that injury ; and for such a-oeipme compensation tlittl he HOW bring the pre.itht ad ion. - Sir JAMES MANSFIELD did not see how the pre sent action Collid br'maintained. Ilr. Serjeant SHEYHJIRD said, that the pla&iff must sotfer a non-suit. The plaintiff was not in possession at the time when, the trespass was alleged to have been committed, but to maintain an action of trewas:, actual pOs»ession by entry on the part of the pla•rit itf was nrce%sary. Mr. S; - ljeatit BEST submitted, that here would be wrong without a r.tnedy, it his client could not maintain, an action ot trespass, fot' in this case'he could bling no oilier action against the det ndant.' Sir J. MANSFIELD.—Why not brink' his at l / 4 .tion on the breach ot the covenant lima was one of the covenanters. -Mr. Serjeant BEvr.—Revett, the father of the de fTdant was, but not the defendant himself. He was iota party to he covena:.t. " S:r JAMES NlAbit.F).P.LD.—That does not aftet thy` breach of the-coviibunl, or the covenant itself. Your client ha 4 nevertheless his remedy on the covenant, but he cannot strew in this case the defendant to be a trespasser. Mr. RICHARDSON, on . the same side, submitted, that the 'elm of holding over after the expiration of the demise was a trespasser. He cited in sup port of thk, the case of Lewin, from Burrow. Seijeant SHEPH ERD said, that if the opposite party wanted originally restitution of the term, as well as damages for the wrong, his remedy in that case lay by tjedment and not trespass, whereby no thing but the mere damages could be recovered in ,this ease there was no trespass. Mr. Serjeant BE.T.—And if no trespass, how could an action of ejectment lie, which always sup poses trespass ? Sir J. MANSVIELD.—The eje&ment supposes the possession to be il,egal, and it maintained, determines At to be so. Mr. Seijeant SHEPHERD.—The defendant, in an aLiion cf trespaAs may try the title as if he set up in his defence that there was no trespass, because the right of entry was in him (the.detenclant), but it by no. tneans followed that the plaintiff could, by such . an action, try his right of entry ; and as to the ejeci went, the very fiction of entry sheaved that that fad was necessary to such an action. Mr. Serjeant BEST admitted the faa of entry on the part of the Lepee, to be essential in either action, and he would now call evidence to prove th:it fact. Benjamin Stroud proved, that he and the plaintiff had repaired to the workshop of the defendant, part of the premises during the ten days, twice, and that 'the first time they were desired by the defendant to go and sit Upon the stairs if they pleased, for the re mainder of• the ten days, and amuse themselves ; - and,. that they thereupon retired- . —and on their second doming, the defendant refused them further ad mittance, and threatened to kick them out if they atteapted to enforce it ; another witness proved the covenant and agreement. Sir 3. MANSFIELD.—The matter set forth in the declaration is not to be found in this covenant; here it appears that the covenanters bind themselves in the penalty of 2001. if they cause or compel the plain tiff to quit before the expiration of the term. It don't appear that they have caused or compelled him so to Mr. Serjeant BEST. " We were not in a con dition to hai/ebeen s 9 compelled, b 5. reason of th e defendant's holding over : hut had we been in that condition, by having been in possession, the Cove nanters must have caused or compelled us to quit before the expiration of the_terat, and we would have had our remedy upon the breach of : cove nant." Sir JAMES MAt,.lt►ftLlD " , , , You - have still VOW' remedy; if you can prove the 'breach of covenant. Let a verdiel be taken tor the plaintiff, subiot /o the judgment of 'the Court, Whether the :idiot) can be maintained." - Verditt for the plaintiff subjekt to the decision of the Court. HERBERT V. COLLET. This was au a4tion to 'recover '3ll. 10s. for the nulin enauce 01 the defendant's child, teom the 14th of August, 180,5, till May, tBO9, at the rate of ss. per week. Seijeant SITEPHPRD slated,' that in this case the infant child of the detendant was, not born in wedlock—such accidents did happeti, but it would have no avail in barring - the just claim of his client. He then called the pl a i nt itf' s Solicitor, who proved that the defendant had ag'eed to pay the debt so contracted, by instalments of 51. every six weeks, but that the first payment, on the 2d September, was but 31. and the next, in about six months af ter, but 61. when 201. vas due. Mr. Serjeant BEST, in cross-exatnination—" Pray, Sir, has not the defendant charged you with being the father of this child ?" This question, from the grave and elderly appearance of the witness, excited considerable laughter. Witness—l never heard that he did,"and I believe he never did make such a charge. There being no defence, the nine pounds paid were deducted from the demand. • Vcrditl for the plaintiff-281. I us. BRIDGES.V. BERRY. Mr. Serjeunt VAUGHAN stated-this to be an ac tii,n on a bill of exchange for i i9l. accepted by the delendane, n d dawn on him by a. person nainrd Box. He •would prove the- hand-writing of the d: tendant, and trusted he should be entitled to a verdiot. . Mr. Serjeant SHEPHERD, for the defendant, con tended, that there were no just grounds whatever for Ihis action ; and, in suppot t of his assertion, slated that the bill for which- the aCtion was biought, had long since I)teti paid. He admitted that the defendant had passed such a bill to the plaintiff, which beLame due, and was not honoured. In order to pay t hat, however, the defendant took to the plaintiff 'another' bill, drawn by him, and ac cepted by a man maned Ivory, which was received by the ;.laintiti in liquidation of the former The amount of the latter bill was 1171. i ts: 2d. and the d4erence between that sum and 1191. was paid in cash. The defendant heard no more of Ivory's . bill until the 29th of,January, a. month after it be ca:l:e doe, when -he was arrested for the amount, and of tOtiftie refused to pay it, from the plaintiff having i►egieCted to give him that legal notice of its non-paylnent, by which he might have taken steps to recover the sum. The plaintiff then finding that lie had forfeited his claim to the latter bill by his own m..gleCt, most, unjustifiably and unwarrantably brought his aition on the original bill of the defen dant, which he .had improperly detained in his pos session. - In answer. to this statement, it was contend ed.for the plaintiff, that the original bill was de 7 tained as a collateral security, and the wisdom of su.:ll a measure was pfoved train the *circum stance of Ivory shortly afterwards becoming a bank rupt. The Learned Judge was of opinion that the ori ginal LAI should have been given up to the de fendant, and that the plaintiff should be liable to. any foss WiliCil Was attributable to his own ne gjeci, in not giving the necessary information to the defendant of the non-payment of the He reserved the point, however, for further delk beration ; and a verdict was taken for the plaintiff, subject to a non-suit on the opinion of the Jud g e being known. , LOA DON SESSIOAS.

The plaintiff, an Attorneyisought a compensation for damage dune to his furniture, while it remained in the possession of the defendant, who is an Auc tioneer in the City. I t appeared that the property in question, which consisted of a Brussels carpet, ma hogJny,chairs, and other articles, had been sent from Tiiavies Inn to the defendant's warehouse for preser vation. \\Then the furniture was returned to the plaintiff 3t his house in York 'Buildings, the carpet appeared to be much damaged. The chairs were also injured. It was suggested by Mr. Serjeant: SHErfiERD, that the chairs had been damaged by the feet GI several perons, who had waited on Mr. Crook at his warehouse, to. congratulate him, after he had stood at an 41eCtion for Common Council cif the Ward. The visitors were entertained on the oc casion with a cold collation, and in the pressure and hurry of the meeting the chairs had suffered.

We expel.:t to move forward and meet the French half-way. Their force is superior to ours. We expect orders to march forward every instant : but ay I write this letter in the evening, and no orders have yet arrived for that purpose, I don't think we shall march to-morrow. The army is extremely healthy, very effective, and well fed, and in case of an action, there is every prospect of success. A Pro has been issued, saying the country is in danger of • being invaded, and calling on all ranks to repa the enemy. Fifteen thousand Portuguese troops of the line, that were at Coimbra, have been moved to Vizea.

The following Is the letter which was sent to die 'Elector Palatine by Dil.rNhal TottENNa, in answer to the challenge from the former, nieritiuned in an ar;.• tide extracted from ACKERAIANN'S , R4o , lifOry of Arts, Manufactures, &c. inserted in our paper of Saturday last. • "- In the Camp of Seckenheim, . "SIR, jury 27, 1674, • "I hate received the letter with which your . Electoral Highness has honoured me. I can assure you, that the lire Which consumed your villages was not kindled by my order, and that the soldiers %Alto fbund 'their comrades murdered in a very extra,r , dmary manner, did it at a time when it was impos , sible to prevent them. I -doubt not, that your Eleetoral Highness will honour - me - with the con , tinuance of your good opinion, as I have done no. , thing to render myself unworthy of it." . In exculpating such a man as Turenne from the imputation of a bad /talon, .for so it was then con , sidered, it may not be superfluous to subjoin the letter written by the Marshal to the Minister Lou vdis, and dated from, the camp near Landau, August 23, 1674. " When I was quilting the Palatinate, I re ceived by a trumpeter from the Elector, a letter, which the King has certainly heard something Of, for I read it to those win/ then hanened to be* my apartment.. a I have put by t h e or i g i na l , .with out suffering single copy of it to be takt ! n, for fear it - might get trom one band to atiothcr ; for' r am convinced, that the ILle6tor himself must an hour afterwards have repented the step. I apsWered him according to the truth, that the soldicrs ha:: \ without orders burned some villages . iii had found some of their comrades murdered (ly the peasants. If the King commands, it, I' will send hint a copy of the letter ; but I thought it better, for the sake. of Madame, to bush up the matter.7' Who, would not Willingly believe the celebrated Marshal Turenne innocent ? it must excite surprize, that such a man _should conceive the idea that the Elector Would repent'a step which does ho nour to his memory. It is the, duty of a Prince in time of danger not to spare his: owl: life, .in order to proteCt or to revenge his subjeds. lf actions are, or at - least then' were, CoMmitted in war, which can not be justified by the latys of war, this very cir cumstance transforms them into private actions. This wad admitted by Turenhe,. when he assured the Eleelor that the villagei had been set on fire - without his orders; -consequently, befor6 he re futed the charge, Turenue was in the eye , of the Eleaor neither more nor less than an unprincipled tormentor of his subject. .But this scourge _was at the head of a:: army. What means then had he left to revenge the past, and to prevent future ex cesses ?. _None, but to meet the perpetrator in silk. gle combat, it he could prevail on hint to accept the challenge.
